Taping Policy
copied 1/03 from http://paulandfred.com/taping.htm
RECORDING
Paul and Fred's Acoustic Duo allows audiotaping at almost every live performance. Taping is a privilege granted by the band to their fans. By respecting the following guidelines you can help the band extend the privilege of taping for many years to come.
When Paul and Fred Acoustic Duo is performing at a festival or other event featuring multiple bands, that particular event's policy may override Paul and Fred's Acoustic Duo's customary taping policy. When Paul and Fred's Acoustic Duo is opening for another artist, that particular artists policy may override Paul and Fred's Acoustic Duos taping policy. Under certain circumstances we may not allow taping and or duplication of a specific show due to the potential commercial distribution of that performance.
All taping is limited to audio only - no video or flash photography is ever allowed. Paul and Fred's Acoustic Duo is not in a position to offer AC power to any tapers. Tapers must bring, and are responsible, for all of their own equipment. Home decks and large mixers are not allowed. Please stay out of the way of the working crew/soundman and do not set up equipment in a way that would impair them to do their job properly.
The enjoyment of the audience in attendance at a concert always takes precedence over recording efforts. This means that at no time should tapers ever require other patrons to be quiet or otherwise interfere with their enjoyment of the show.
DUPLICATION
All participants in audio recording exchange (regardless of format) acknowledge and respect the copyrights and exclusive ownership of the music and performances by the performers, writers and publishers.
All taping must be for personal use only, which may include trading (via analog or digital tape, CD, or digital file transfer).
Recordings may be traded freely on a strictly not-for-profit basis (no money is to change hands) and may be traded only for an equivalent amount of similar media.
In addition, the media by which audio trading is publicized may not be commercialized. Therefore no commercial gain may be sought by websites offering digital files of our music, whether through advertising, offer links for compensation, exploiting databases compiled from their traffic, or by any other means.
If we have chosen to offer for sale a particular Paul and Fred's Acoustic Duo performance, this "official" version will take precedence over amateur recordings and said recordings should no longer be traded, or made available by websites, servers, or other means. In no case may any officially-released Paul and Fred's Acoustic Duo recording (live or studio) be duplicated or otherwise traded or offered.
Taping at Paul and Fred's Acoustic Duo concerts is authorized for non-commercial purposes only. Unauthorized sale, duplication and/or distribution is strictly forbidden. All Paul and Fred's Acoustic Duo performances and recordings are the exclusive property of Paul and Fred's Acoustic Duo. We reserve the right to withdraw our sanction of recording, tape trading, and/or non-commercial digital audio file transfers on a case specific basis or in general, as we deem necessary.
If you are aware of any person or site in violation of this policy, please inform us.
Lastly, please support the artists you tape and trade by purchasing the merchandise that keeps them on the road (CDs, T-shirts etc.).
Thanks for taping and trading, but most importantly, have fun at the shows.
If you do tape a live performance, please let us know that a copy is available.
